SPECIMENS OF DEFERRED ANNUITIES REPOR T. At a meeti ng o f Proprietors in April last, the Directors, deem ing it their duty, on the first occasion that offered, to submit the undertaking to a searching inquiry, entered at length into a history of the Company, its objects, its then condition, and its prospects. On this occasion their duty will be limited to a summary of the 14nd Thol e important facts and proceedings which have since transpired, they are happy to intimate that their Report, ough more brief than its predecessor, will, as they hope and believ th e, be quite satisfactory to the Proprietors. THE LINE FROM MANCHESTER TO STOCKPORT. the The Di rectors stated in their former Report that the plans for line fro m M anchester to Stockport were in an advanced state, thdt were expected to b e rea d y for the contractors in six weeks from thltieepr,erhodis. They further stated that, in the opinion of the En zroa portion of th e li ne might be completed in two years ,li, the letting of the works. the he plans in question, which comprise the entire line hetvreen stre t wn tovvns, excepting., that part of it which passes from Store ._ et to Fairfield -street, were completed by the time named, and , 4 ° , 1 the 1 9th May last, tenders for the execution of the works were toavvertised for in the usual way. The contracts, four in number, i nst : sin ceßien let, and the Directors are happy to say, in every tereciainne, espectable and responsible contractors, who have en cheste to engagements, under which the line connecting Man in m to Stockport is to be completed and prepared for the public -ay, 1840. There __arc two cheering circumstances to be communicated in p ari. 7ee to this portion of the Railway. The one is, that by a u eti n . n ni,: e L e ° r n in o k r . seetisn effected without detriment to the line in an P of view, and assented to wherever necesary 82 ' the act of the landowners interested, a saving will s be ••vur e d • th e r in the construction, of 50,000/., in addition to which .. further result has been attained, that the period fOr comple- Li on 0 , as th ' the works will be brought within a limit of time less, peri o d Directo rs are advised, by upwards of a year, than the t o u g oscesspry to execute the line according to the Parliamen- Z. section. 1 151 : 1 1b . e oth er circumstance to be referred to is, that the contracts *tr u e b e en let w i t hi n the estimates, and thus whilst the cost of con seetFtln has i n t h e first place been diminished by the change of 14 115 1 °n, a saving has secondly been effected in the cost at which the c onst u r a u s e b ti e o e n n w u a n s d e e s r t t i a m k a e t n ed a .s compared with the cos t a t w hi c h i ts Pup .

It is but just to the landed proprietors as a body to add, 4 ' i n ' e rY many instances the overtures of the Company have been b'et i n ,7PPoa spirit of fairness and candour ; and the Directors take this errtunity of avowing their anxious wish to cultivate the best un r,,ftaading with the landowners whom the Railway may affect, and r4,,Toeetiogtheir views to the utmost extent compatible with the pa- The r Claims of the Company. pa rt oef eto,ntractors have been . severally put in possession of such tip o , , •ne land as was immediately needful to them, and the works -- 'e line are now actively commenced. p ants l Directors will make it their special care to anticipate the ,; ef the contractors with regard to the possession of the re atril-11,;;ng land comprised in their respective contracts, so that no °b ee -"*" may occur to the satisfactory prosecution and timely lli P l ation of the Railway in this important district.

CALLS. The Di rec t ors, i n conformity to their expressed intention at the Last meeting, have made only one call, and that for the sum of 31. l'e „f r , S hare, upon the Proprietors, which c a ll b ecame due on the 11th -• 4.a gust last, an d i s now i n satisfactory course of payment. ln terreference to the future, the Directo rs b e li eve that one call of 31. sha re will suffice for the present year ; and there will at all _Mie s be an interval of at least three months between every two cols ' whilst the large number of shares of which the Company con listt have the effect of limiting each call to a moderate amount.

Between JOSEPH Sricsis, and Others, Complainants; and RICHARD EDW•RDS, Defendant. MESSRS. JOSEPH SYKES and SONS, of Hull, having ascertained that I, the undersigned RICHARb EDRA LDS, of Clatterbatch Steel Works, near Stourbridge, in the County of Worcester, had used one of the Marks of the House of josam SYKES and Sows, denominated (1 4 ) by having had the same Mark impressed upon Steel manufactured by rno, the c i d it ' l l R ICHA RD EDWARDS, from Iron not vended by th e sa id J szra SYLIS and Sorts, they, in the month or Feb r u ar y last., fil their Bill in Chancery against me, in order to restrain me, byt Injunction, from Stamping on any Iron the said Mark : also, from converting into Steel any Iron so marked, or any imitation thereof, wept such as was genuine Swedish Iron imported by Messrs. Joseph Sykes and Sons ; also from Manufacturing any BE-2 of Steel from Iron not being genuine Swedish Iron, imported bvlMosers. Sykes, sold by them marked as aforesaid and also from Selling any Steel made from such spurious Iron marked as afore said, Whereupon his Honour the Vice-Chancellor granted an order forma Injunction to issue in the terms prayed in the Bill as herein befpre mentioned. And on the 3d day sf March last, her Ma jesty's Writ of INJUNCTION issued against me accordingly, and the same is still in force, Being now satisfied that I had acted in error in using die said Messrs. Joseph Sykes and Son's Malrk, I proposed to them to make this acknowledgment thereof, which they should be at liberty to insert in such Public Newspapers as they shall think proper, at my expense, an 4, that I should also consent to the aforesaid Injunction being made perpetual against me and my servants by her Majesty's High Court of Chancery ; whisk proposal Messrs.

Patronized by their Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover, and their Royal Highnesses the Princesses Augusta and Sophia, her Serene Highness the Princess Esterhazy, the Princesses Mary and Rosa, and his Grace the Duke of Manchester MESSRS. S. and B. SOLOMONS, Opticians and Aurists, late of Solomon's Terrace, during a profes sional experience of thirty years, have had ample opportunities of verifying that the Organs of Sight and Hearing are sympa thetically related to each other in such a peculiar manner, that when the former becomes imperfect, the sense of hearing be comes rapidly dull ; this fact is admitted by Scientific Authori ties, and must be observable by many thousands of individuals thus circumstanced, which is deserving the Public's most serious attention. The Messrs. Solomons, with a view to remedy such an affection, and after they have devoted their whole lives to this inte resting branch o fscience, have succeeded in of for imperf -ct vision a most scientific improvement in the manufacture of a Trans parency for SPECTACLES, and a Preventive and Cure in certain cases of deafness, and where skill and art has no avail they have in vented an OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR upon a very small construction, scarcely perceptible, it requires no holding, sad the individual immediately becomes one of the party in the general' conversation. By this important discovery, not only is defective vision brought to nature, but the sense of hearing is restored to its original acuteness; those lenses are so constructed and adapted to weak and imperfect eyesight, upon such scientific principles, com bined with the long extensive experience of the Messrs. Solomons, which will be found to effect such an extent of relief to those af flicted with defective vision and dulness of bearing that will far ex ceed their utmost and mast sanguine expectations. On placing those lenses before imperfect vision either by day or candle light every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle seen with exact distinctness. The Messrs. Solomons have in their pos session, WITHOUT ONE EXCEPTION, Spectacles, and Ear instru ments of every kind which are offered to the public by other indivi (ma's, to point out the superiority of their improvements over all .:?hers. The patronage of Nobility and Gentr,T, and recommenda tions of the.princip a l O cu li s t Ph ys i c i ans and surgeons in London, and through Great Britain as well as on the Continent, would be too expensive and numerous for insertion. The Messrs. Solomons are anxious that the public should not confound them with persons of the same name, it being admitted by professional gentlemen of the highest character, and may be seen by any individ ua l, th at t h e i r new l y i nvented Spectacles and Opera tive Voice Conductors for deafness, surpass any thing of the kind yet put before the public, they request attention to the first part of their names and address, 39, Albemarle-street.

THE BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, adopting the suggestion of a Sunday Paper, hereby CALL FOR AN INQUIRY, in order that the virtues of the VEGE TABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE may be properly and fairly tested. Let only fairness and impartiality be the order of the day, and those upholding the Hygeian System can have nothing to tear from the most severe test that can be devised. In order to carry out the above, the British College of Health hereby offer to supply gratuitously the medicine that may be required. The Hygeian Dispensary at Exeter, where the incurables of the Faculty are treated and cured free of charge, is already a pretty strong proof of the suggess that would attend an IMPARTIAL INVESTIGA TION OF THIS QUESTION ; therefor*, if Medical Men re fuse the above challenge, the worst construction ought to be put on the infamous conduct which has lately characterized the Acts of some of them, and stamp it as proceeding only from selfish interest, envy, and their inability to compete with the Hygeian doctrines : It will be remembered that on the 11th of March last, a petition was presented to Parliament, signed by upwards of 10,000 per sons, praying for an Inquiry into the Hygeian System, but no no tice has been taken of the same by the medical fraternity, from what motive is left t o th e rea d er . S ure ly suc h a man if es tation of public opinion was as worthy of attention as " Animal Magnetism and Homocepathy." British College of Health, New-road, Sept. 10, IS3t4. IMPORTANT N OTICE.

N ewman - s t r eet, OxfovAl 15 0 0 I have every reason to believe that it would be of material consequence to the service were country post masters employed to assist the surveyors. They might be engaged in ascertaining the best routes, and the cheapest and best modes of conveying the mails which are sent by light carriages, on horseback, or by foot-post, in their own neighbourhood, and while they should be debarred from entering into agreements, still they might be very use fully employed and become salutary checks on surveyors, who in their turn should be surveyed and reported on regularly by a superior officer. I think some change of this kind is abso lutely necessary with a view to provide cheap and frequent communications by post, and thereby put down illicit convey ance of letters, whenever postage rates are so f ar l owered as to admit o f o ffi cers acting beneficially in this way. I have held these opinions for years, and been strongly confirmed in the practical inefficiency of the present system of surveying, by the comparative ignorance exhibited by those Post-office surveyors who have been exan ined by this Committee, as to the illegal practices which appear to be so well understood and universally known to every other class, but still more from finding that mail-carts without passengers, and horse-posts instead of passenger-carriages, still prevail in England, where stage-coaches are so peculiarly well adapted to supplant boar. I look upon the twopenny-post department in London, and the more important post-offices throughout the kingdom, as far better schools for fitting persons for deputy postmasters and surveyors than the General Post-office ; because, in the London twopenny post-offices there are continuous active duties going on from morning until night, connected with the frequent transmission of mails, and therefore similar to the duties incumbent on deputy postmasters and surveyors in the country. I have never been able to see any good rea son fcir that part of the London centralizing mania, to the ex clusion of the rest of England, Ireland, and Scotland, that is, the making deputy postmasters mere nonentities, respecting the general business of the department they belong to, for a'cl ing in which very many of them are well qualified and suffici ently paid ; if not, they should be so paid. THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE IN LONDON. It having been alleged before this Committee, that this magnificent edifice would not bq sufficient for conducting the increase of business contemplated by Mr. Rowland Hill, were his plan to be adopted, I considered it proper. carefully to ex amine this building during the hours in which the most active duties were performing, as well as w a en there was compara tively little doing. I witnessed the performance of the duties from six to eight one evening, and was highly satisfied, and in some instances much surprised with the accuracy and expedition which .ap-. peered to pervade every separate department. At the same time it is right to observe,• that all I saw may be called /flannel labour, and by no means surpassing the ingenuity, regularity, and expedition which may be seen going on in other trades, —for, in my opi n i on , t hi s i s the proper term to apply to the duties of a post-office, whether in London or in the country. As regards an increase of business, I am convinced want of space teed be no obstacle ; for I am satisfied that at least &Wile the working space may be found under the present roof of St. Martin's-lc-Grand, whenever it shall be required. I may here remark the short-sighted policy which was al lowed to prevail in the construction of the immense splendid building I am speaking of. It is evident the architect, or those who directed him, had splendour and comfortable accommodation to the persons fill ing the high-sounding offices of President and Vice-Presi dents, &c. &c. in view ; but had no idea that ever the time would arrive when post-office duties should increase, or be in any way changed; or be done in London with day-light ; for the sun has been nearly excluded from the chief workshops in this ill -constructed edifice, which are called the Inland and Newspaper offices, and very nearly so from the Foreign and Twopenny departments. Tie plan evidently contemplated lamp-light only being used, whether in day-light or dark, which accounts for those ludicrous and absurd apartments of fifty feet high, probably, wLich have no windows, and are consequently difficult and expensic'e to light, besides being rendered extremely hot, comfortle-s, and, I should think, unhealthy, from the immense voltime of gas-smoke rith which ,I saw them filled. If space is required, let these lot;.: palace-like offices be divided with floors into rooms of mo u :.nate height, and have win dows with glass in place of being up with stone; and be lighted at night with gas, and venti:ated also according to the excellent plan of Dr. Reid of Ediabus,:h; in his large class-rooms there, and also in the House of Commons ; were this, done, another Mr. Rowland Hill must appear before St. .slartin's le-Grand, in the opinion of practical men, would be found insufficient to dispose of all the correspondence which may pour into it. Were this mode to be adopted, light would be admitted bw the toof, and by side windows being opened, both of which cam be done easily ; for surely the time has nearly arrived for am end being put to the use of flaring gas to pry into letters, while. the sup is affording broad day light, and which es-try other workshop in the world is provided with, except those in the r„,.. tt ,,:ed London Post-office. Were o bj e :tionsoffered to the above proposal, a very large space may b e o t ta ...2 ed by a d vanc i ng the places of business to. the pillar s o n b ot h s id es the g r eat outer hall, to which none now-a-days would object, I a i ,; confident, if the cheapening of letter postage is connected with it. I went through a ll t h e of fi ces occupied r the v ar i ous d ut i es of the department, and mobile I have great sat:. , faction in bear ing testimony to the order and regularity, and remarkably neat manner in which I found them, I have no hesitation ira saying they are capable of containing many more officers, end having much more duty done with them; and this would be seen, were the Post-office revenue farmed by a joint-stock company; and were this national monopoly under the active and stringent superintendence of men who bad a pecuniary interest in salutary reforms and improvements; and in exer cising a conciliatory demeanour, with a view to extend their trade, and encourage and increase their customers. But this is not all. The whole basement of this immense building may be said to be unoccupied. 1 went from end to end and from side to side of it, and found it all remarkably dry, with good air, free from noisome effluvia, and aiready supplied with gas. So large is the unoccupied space here, and so com pletely is it fitted for being used for Post-office purpozes, in cluding the exami n i ng of letters by gaslight, as to satisfy me, '11.4 the whole workino portion of the duties now done in 5:. Martin's-le -Grand might be done in this basement. If not re quired to be so occupied, it should certai. , ly be immediately turned to some account, in order that the rents niav go tervards cheapeni ng postage. It may be put to almost any purpose, being entirely arched with brick. The working rooms at St. Martin's-le-Grand are opened every meriting at six and closed at nine, and re-opened at rise and closed at e i g h t each night ; so that six hours attendance in these is the utmost extent of the duty. Na', Inc"' some belonging to them only do duty day about. No duty is per formed in them between nine and four of the day ; in fact, I!c• attendance i, given between these hours by those engaged in the mantril labou r i m p ose d on t h e o ffi cers. a hose good for tune has got th em i nto t hi s d'epartmont, which i s so very opposite to tiiie conti nuous d ut i es i mpose d a ll d a y long on their breth re n in the London General-post branch offices, and in the London Twopenny post department of relief from duty during the of S.

On this I have to observe, that, although I approve of•the consolidation of the Post offices of the three kingdoms, vet I feel assured that the principle of centralization has been car ried further than is practically useful. I think the Secretaries in Ireland and Scotland should be intrusiM with greater powers, be clothed with authority in minor matters', and at the same time be held accountable to the - Postmaster-General for all their acts. Having had many opporfuntties of seeing, and far more of hearing of the manner in which the duties of the office of Su perintendent of Mail -coaches have been performed, I am per fectly satisfied that the overweening vanity in regard to cen tralization, which so powerfully governed all the actions of Sir I Francis Feeling, was never more unwisely eiterms:ad than in having but one person, resident in London, to sunerinond the P whole mail-coach department of the three kingdoms. , lam well aware of the relative position in which the sur veyors stand to this officer; but having been a 1 ratty close oherver of such matters during many years of an active life, I unhesitatingly give it as my opinion that the duties of this office should be performed by several persons, going round the country, at fair but moderate salaries ; and that these:persons should not be selected from the London Post-office, but be sought from the country department, and in part, from ,that class which has the best practical information and knowledge of the chief portion of the duties of a superintendent of mail coaches, and which is so respectably represented all over ftet kingdom ; namely, those who are, or have been employed by the coaching interest. . . . I think the surveyors have too much power, and are by far tlo little under eontroul. They are accountable only .to.tbe Postmaster-General, or rather the !London Secretary; and ever)thing I have seen convinces me that no Postmaster-Gone-. ral ever attains to sufficient practical knowledge to be able to direct this portion of the department ; and that the same may be said with truth of the Secretaries to the General Post office. lam satisfied that the practice of giving the appoint ment of surveyor to persons bred up in the General Post office is wrong, it being plain to my understanding that the officers in that office, like other London tradesmen, are chiefly trained up in the knowledge of one department only, so that their training is not well calculated to enable them to fill the office of surveyor with its multifarious duties, a vast part of these being entirely new to such persons, that is what may be . called out-door duties; in short, lam satisfied that much bet ! ter officers might be found by selecting them from country nost-otrk-es, or the twopenny-post department, than from the London Gencral Post -office. I further think, that survey ors are too highly pa id , an d i n an , objection a bl e manner; and t hat the service would be better done by moving them from district to district, instead of mak ing them stationary; and that they Are considerably too few in number; in short, that this branch requires immediate re vision. tit GR A VESEND.-TO ROCHERVILLE PIER, THIS DAY, at Ten to Half-past, for One Shil ling, and returns at Five in the evening, for One Shilling.
